    Guía de Chicago (Estados Unidos) Los mejores rincones para tus viajes descubiertos por los usuarios de minube pd4ml evaluation copy. visit http://pd4ml.com Sobre las guías de viajes de minube.com ¿Qué sería de un viajero sin una guía? ¿Qué sería del nuevo viajero sin las recomendaciones reales de otras personas? ¿Qué sería del viajero del siglo XXI sin su guía de viaje personalizada? El viajero ha evolucionado. Hasta ahora, las guías de viaje tradicionales eran su mejor compañero de viaje. Sin embargo, con la aparición de los nuevos medios y de Internet, la preparación del viaje es mucho más detallada y el viajero tiende a informarse, a construir su viaje en función de sus gustos e intereses y a prepararse su viaje en base a las recomendaciones reales de otros viajeros como él. Uniendo estos dos conceptos: las guías de viaje y las recomendaciones reales de los viajeros, minube ha creado las guías de viaje personalizadas, permitiendo al viajero crearse su guía en base a sus necesidades y gracias a los lugares recomendados por los viajeros. Hay dos tipos diferentes: las guías de destinos (por ejemplo, Nueva York), o las guías personalizadas en base a los rincones que el usuario se ha ido guardando en su perfil (útil para viajes que transcurren por diferentes ciudades: por ejemplo, “En coche por la Costa Azul”). En un minuto, el viajero puede crear su guía basada en las categorías que más le interesen: museos, restaurantes, parques naturales…Para que no se pierda nada de lo que le interesa y con la seguridad de saber que se trata de los sitios que los propios viajeros han descubierto y han querido compartir.

    PATH-DEPENDENT STARTUP HUBS Comparing Metropolitan Performance: High-Tech and ICT Startup Density Dane Stangler Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation 0 PATH-DEPENDENT STARTUP HUBS Comparing Metropolitan Performance: High-Tech and ICT Startup Density Dane Stangler Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation September 2013 © 2013 by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. All rights reserved. 1 PATH-DEPENDENT STARTUP HUBS Comparing Metropolitan Performance: High-Tech and ICT Startup Density Regional entrepreneurship ecosystems, aka startup communities, are being studied and touted as the next new thing in economic development for cities and metropolitan areas across the country—especially in the high-technology and information technology (ICT) sectors. And for good reason. According to a report by Ian Hathaway of Engine that looked closely at the dynamism of the high-tech and ICT sectors in the United States, particularly new and young companies,1 these are the firms that create jobs at the fastest pace and are important drivers of economic growth. Hathaway’s paper included a list of the top metropolitan areas by startup density in these two sectors. The Appendix included this density information for metropolitan areas for 1990 and 2010. Using these appendix tables, I took a closer look at the relative performance of metropolitan areas over the past twenty years in terms of high- tech entrepreneurship. Specifically, I was interested in answering the following questions: What metropolitan areas saw the biggest increases or decreases in high-tech startup density? What did relative performance look like by different-sized MSAs? Were the top metro areas identified by Hathaway for 2010 the same as in 1990? This exploration suggests several interesting observations, some of which challenge commonly held beliefs: Many areas currently considered “new” startup hubs actually have either a history of strong technology sectors or experienced strong growth among technology startups over the past two decades.
